My Pet Conspiracy Theory is that publishers are doing this on purpose: making eBooks cost more than the hardcover verson from Amazon, promoting the Tower of eBabel, promoting bad DRM.
Why? Because the last thing that they want is for eBooks to become a success. If everyone has an electronic reader, then the need for publishers goes away. Authors will be able to create content and sell directly to the readers.
